You don't mention how you did the original install, but the binary installer installs this service manager, along with Start Menu entries, etc. If you used the binary installer, use add/remove programs to remove everything it did for you. Otherwise, it's a trip down the registry tree looking for RUN/RUNONCE entries. Jeff p.s. I'm a big believer in using the binary installer. It does almost everything I need these days. Kudos to the developer who maintains this.
